Pelvic floor exercises

I've read on here and I'm sure elsewhere on the net that doing pelvic floor exercises alone can be pointless because most women aren't doing them correctly and so need to be taught first. I was just wondering if anyone could elaborate on that? What's the correct way to do them? I'm sick of silly articles on the Internet, I'm starting to think the people who write them don't even know what they're talking about and one article contradicts the next. Same with the so called specialists I've seen, I ask repeatedly if I'm doing them right and they just stick a finger in and as soon as I clench they say I'm doing them right but doing them has never helped me. I'd appreciate any information on this, i have more faith in the opinion of women who've been through these issues than any specialist right now.

    Hi Jean

    I think first you should do is to see specialist (ask for different one,special machine for check up might be helpful) he needs check up your pelvic strenght and tell you how to use them correctly. After a few months I gave a birth I saw physioterapist and I started do 5 sec hold then 4 sec break then again the same for 5 times and after this 1 min break and 5 quick squize, quick and slow both are important. Next check up she increased them and finally I did 10 sec for 10 times with 4 sec break and after a minute 10 quick flicks. Uff I hope its clear enough to understand.

    Anyway see sombody who is compitent.

    After a year I got this DVD hab.it and I exersised almost everyday. Its very good, explain and show everythink very clearly, good posture, you start them gradually,involved many different muscle etc.

    Unfortunatly after 2 years still has a prolaps e and I had an operation 18 December 2015, but my physio said there is a girl and she did those exercise regularly and her prolapsed gone, so Iam going back to do them soon. Like somebody mention we forget about those muscle, but with prolapse or not we should exercise them, thank you mother nature 😃
